...INT Task 3 Does Salt make Ice melt Faster? Project Plan Salt is known to be used on icy roads in certain areas of the country in the winter season to help clear roadways to make them safer for travel. Salt causes a reaction that lowers the freezing point of water. In this experiment we will test this method of applying salt to ice to see if for certain this is true, and how much faster the salt melts if so. In this experiment, the Independent Variable will be adding Salt to the ice and the Dependent variable will be the time it takes the ice to melt. The Plan is to use two ice cubes in separate containers, and add ice to only one of these. Each will be timed and observed for the duration it takes both to melt, and data will be collected throughout. At the end of the experiment, enough information will be gathered to confirm whether adding salt to ice in turn makes it melt faster, and how much faster this occurs versus adding nothing to ice. This will prove or disprove the benefit of using salt on roads to help make ice melt faster. Literature Review Many experiments have been done to test what makes Ice melt faster. Some of these included one or many different additives such as: Table Salt, Sugar, Pepper, Rock Salt. In these studies Salt prevailed as the one ingredient that would speed the melting time of Ice significantly versus adding nothing, or another substance such as sugar. (Nina DeSales, 2014). In one study Salt was added to ice water. This was done to show...

... Strayer University Dr. Tameria Vickerson February 18, 2010 Currently, children drive the ice cream industry in a large part. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the youth populations in the next seven years will be declining, thus, forcing ice cream manufacturers to develop new products that are attractive to the growing adult population. Households with children are the lead consumers of ice cream with 34% of total consumption. This is compared to the 20% of household consumption without children. Consumer research has shown that children in African-American households eat more types of ice cream products and also consume more servings during a 30-day period. As the children enter their teenage years, they began to vary in their consumption. Teen girls start to begin to eat healthier and opt for the frozen yogurt, while teen boys still love the premium ice cream. Habits that are formed in the teenage years tend to stick with individuals as they mature into adulthood. The majority of adults prefer the same few flavors that they have eaten their whole life (Barrette, 2010). Because individuals of Asian descent are one of the leading ethnicities besides Native and African Americans that have the lactose intolerance gene, they are a prime target. While I want this business to be family friendly and enjoyable to the ice cream lovers, the main target audience is not ice cream’s traditional focus of kids, but rather individuals that have the lactose intolerant gene. I...

...Plagiarism is more specifically geared towards taking someone else's work and claiming it as your own, or using another person's work without properly crediting the original author. Whereas, copyright infringement is using the work of someone else's creation without seeking out permission from all parties involved in ownership of said piece of work. Again, the notion that one "owns" or is the original creator of a series of words or a set of chords, is a bit cloudy. This brings me back to the Vanilla Ice argument. Queen and David Bowie had created a unique riff at the beginning of their song "Under Pressure". This sound is nearly identical to the beginning of the song "Ice Ice Baby". However, in Vanilla Ice's version there is slight variance of the original sound, a simple sound of cymbals clashing together. Initially Vanilla Ice had tried to argue that the added symbols made the intro of his song distinctly different. The case never went to court, as Vanilla Ice settled out before a lawsuit was drawn up. So where do we draw the line between plagiarism and copyright...

...1.1 Introduction-Company "The best ice cream in the world" started out as the vision of Mr. Reuben Mattus and continued throughout his life. He began in 1921, selling ice cream in the streets of New York. Soon, he dreamed of creating nothing but the finest ice cream using only the finest and purest ingredients. In 1961, Mr. Mattus decided to form a new company dedicated to producing his new super-premium ice cream. He called this new brand “Häagen-Dazs” – a name that conveys an aura of old world tradition and premium quality. The original product line included just three flavors: vanilla, chocolate and coffee. Mr. Mattus then passionately spent six years searching for strawberries sweet and full-flavored enough to meet the brand’s impeccable standard of quality for his premium strawberry ice cream. The Häagen-Dazs brand quickly developed a loyal following. Its early success and praise was created by word of mouth. As passionate enthusiasm grew for this rich and creamy treat, the brand also grew. When the first Häagen-Dazs shop opened in 1976, it was an immediate success, and the brand’s popularity continued. By the mid-1980s, the taste of Häagen-Dazs ice cream was introduced internationally. In 1983 Mr. Mattus agreed to sell the Häagen-Dazs brand to The Pillsbury Company, which remained committed to the tradition of superior quality and innovation on which Häagen-Dazs ice cream was founded. Since then, it has become a global phenomenon, available in 50 countries. The same...

...salons, UppperCuts is certain to attract more customers.” ANALYSIS Citing a general demographic trend and certain evidence about two other hair salons, the manager of UpperCuts (UC) concludes here that UC should relocate from suburban to downtown Apton in order to attract more customers and, in turn, improve its profitability. However, the manager’s argument relies on a series of unproven assumptions and is therefore unconvincing as it stands. To begin with, the argument assumes that Apton’s demographic trend reflects the national trend. Yet, the mere fact that one hair salon has moved downtown hardly suffices to infer any such trend in Apton; HairDooz might owe its success at its new location to factors unrelated to Apton’s demographics. Without better evidence of a demographic shift such trend in Apton. For that matter, the trend might be in the opposite direction, in which event the manager’s recommendation would amount to especially poor advice. Even if Apton’s demographics do reflect the national trend, it is unfair to assume that UC will attract more customers simply by relocating downtown. It is entirely possible that the types of...

...MARKETING PLAN OF SELECTA ICE CREAM I – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Selecta’s humble beginnings can be traced to the Arce family’s ice cream parlor in Manila in 1948. Its ice cream was well-known for its creaminess, authentic flavours, and unique gold can packaging—qualities that remained throughout the years. In 1990, RFM Corporation bought Selecta from the Arce family to form Selecta Dairy Products, Inc. Known for its sharp entrepreneurship, RFM catapulted the rise of Selecta as a serious contender in the ice cream market always ahead in product innovations by creating new and exciting flavours like Cookies and Cream, Halo Halo, Ube Macapuno, and Chocolate Almond Fudge, and supported by heart-warming media campaigns that depict Selecta as an ice cream that creates family bonding moments. In 1997, Selecta became the market leader in the Philippine capital, which accounted for 60% of the nation’s ice cream consumption. In 1999, to complement its frozen novelties category and strengthen itself for competition, RFM teamed up with Unilever, the largest ice cream company in the world to form Selecta Walls Incorporated. The joint-venture proved to be a success and in 2000, Selecta defeats competition to become the national ice cream leader. And that has been the story since with its passion for exceeding the expectations of consumers, unwavering dedication to quality, and unrelenting quest to improve itself through its innovations, Selecta or Unilever RFM Ice Cream, Inc., sees itself...

...Although an ice storm may not seem to have the same type of effects as some other crises may have on the hospitality industry, there are many negative outcomes from them. Ice storms are very dangerous in the fact that you never know when it could turn into one. Weather may be getting weather, even warmer, but if you’ve got rain, especially at the end of the winter season, it could easily turn to ice in a second. All types of storms can have some effect on any type of operation but in particular, those that are non-essential. As stated by the Government of Canada, “freezing rain is tough, clings to everything it touches and is more slippery than snow. A little freezing rain is dangerous, a lot can be catastrophic” (http://www.getprepared.gc.ca/knw/ris/str-eng.aspx#c4). Things such as electrical, heating, plumbing, gas, and any other type of power outlet can be effected by ice storms, especially with them being outside. The next few paragraphs are an explanation into how ice storms can affect a hospitality operation from the greenhouse, up to the actual restaurant itself. As well we personally interviewed Sarah Scott about her experience with an ice storm at Inn On The Twenty. There are several different areas that can be affected by the severe effects of an ice storm. As the rest of this report will show, the effects can spread right from the farmers to the restaurant/hotel and even directly to the guest at such locations. The primary focus of the interview that will assist...

...increase in temperature? Why or why not?” In order to accurately answer these questions it was very important to use identical cups, each filled with the same total mass of water (both liquid and ice). This was because we needed many constant variables so that we could be sure that it was the presence, or lack thereof, of added thermal energy that was changing the heat of the samples and not something else. It was also important to stir each sample continuously so that we got accurate and precise readings of the sample as a whole and not just one specific area. Our graph shows some interesting trends, for example, the samples without ice cubes began...

...know that Physics and Sports cannot be separated? In sports, athletes need to apply the concepts of Physics. But the application of Physics is not just limited to the machineries but also on how people should move the parts of their body. If successfully applied, well it can increase an athlete’s performance. But there are far more reasons why I believe Physics is a spectator of sports: firstly the physics of ice skating or figure skating which was shown in the movie Ice Princes that I recently watched; second, the physics of playing basketball and lastly, the physics of archery. To start off, the movie Ice Princess is the perfect example wherein Physics was applied into sports. Remember Isaac Newton’s first law of motion? Which states: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. (Mckinley, 2000) It is also known as inertia, and the very main reason why ice skaters glide smoothly on ice with the help of friction simply because there is less friction on ice. It is truly amazing on how the girl in the movie successfully applied Physics in figure skating. Another argument I have is, when your playing basketball. Physics is applied and can be seen when basketball players shoot the ball into the ring. As seen in the viral game angry birds, it basically shows and applies the concept of projectile motion wherein before the bird flies, a force must be exerted just like...

...link between the rapid loss of the melting ice caps and the endangerment and declining populations of animal species in the Artic region. Global warming has produced rising temperatures causing the melting of the ice caps. The Artic animals, primarily the polar bear and the emperor penguin are left with less hunting grounds and a natural environment in which to thrive. Global warming should be of great concern worldwide, as it not only affects our environment physically, but it is detrimental to the animals as well. We must live sustainably to preserve our natural resources in order to cease global warming, ultimately helping these Artic animals as well as ourselves. However, the fact that many people and politicians refuse...

...To survive in Russia’s ice cream industry during the 11 years since the collapse of the former Soviet Union was no small feat (see Exhibits 1 and 2 ). To be successful in these turbulent times was nothing short of amazing to industry observers. In 2002, Ice-Fili, a midsized Russian company with more than $25 million in sales, was Russia’s top ice cream producer. Surprisingly, it had outlasted several well-known international companies such as Ben & Jerry’s, which exited the Russian market in 1997, and Unilever, which left in 2001. Ice-Fili had not only successfully transitioned from the tight controls of the Soviet regime to the infant Russian open-market economy in 1992, but it had also successfully navigated its way through the difficult times of Russia’s 1998 financial crisis. Ice-Fili was fighting to maintain its market share leadership in the increasingly competitive Russian ice cream market, which had decreased over the past few years to about a half-billion dollars in sales. Nestlé, which advertised heavily, was Ice-Fili’s fiercest competitor. While most ice cream producers were left to fight in an already saturated ice cream kiosk system, Baskin & Robbins and Haagen-Dazs1 had positioned themselves as premium ice cream producers, distributing through franchised restaurant and café networks. At the other end of the competitive spectrum, the small regional ice cream producers, which were believed to have lower production costs than Ice-Fili and other Moscow-based producers...

...Imagine you are a polar bear, and you want to get to shore, but you can't because it's too long of a swim, because the ice caps at the shore have melted and the ice caps you are on our floating further and further away becauses of greenhouse gas effects on the environment. Therefore you can't get home, you can't get food, and you can't survive. The polar bear was added to the endangered animal list in 2008 because of multiple causes, most are from impacts caused by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases in Alaska and Northern Canada have three major Impacts on polar bears and their ecosystem: Greenhouse gases cause pollution in the ecosystem. They cause climate change in the ecosystem, melting the ice caps the polar bears live on, and lastly the greenhouse gases cause shorter hunting seasons, less food for the polar bears, and bad body conditions for polar bears, causing the polar bear population to go down....

...Baskin-Robbins Challenges they face as a corporation Baskin-Robbins: The Challenge of Relevance Baskin-Robbins is a global chain of ice cream parlors founded by Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins in 1945, in Glendale, California. It claims to be the world’s largest ice cream franchise, [2] with more than 5,800 locations, 2,800 of which are located in the United States. Baskin-Robbins is located all over the world, selling ice cream in over 30 countries including Canada, The United Kingdom, Egypt, Australia, South Korea and India. Yet in such a diverse corporation the household name of Baskin-Robbins is slowly beginning to fade. The Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlors started as separate ventures from Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins, owning Burt's Ice Cream Shop and Snowbird Ice Cream respectively. Snowbird Ice Cream featured 21 flavors, a novel concept for the time. When the separate companies merged in 1953, this concept grew to 31 flavors. [3] Baskin-Robbins is known for its “31 flavors” slogan. The idea of having 31 flavors came from the Carson-Roberts advertising agency (which later Ogilvy & Mather) in 1953, along the slogan “Count the Flavors”, “Where flavor counts.” 31 was also more than the 28 flavors then famously offered at Howard Johnson’s restaurants. [citation?] Burt and Irv also believed that people should be able to sample flavors until they found one they wanted to buy-hence the iconic small pink spoon. During a now famous promotion, Amy Boggioni led a group...

...1. During my time as an ice addict, everyday during that week was full of chaos, confusion, and denial. I had to eat ice at least 3 times daily. I had to wake up early in the morning to get the ice I need for the day without anybody in my family seeing me. The first thing on my mind every day was when I will get some ice again if I run out of the one I have. A lot of people were asking questions about my poster and some of them thought I was really an addict. Some people even offered to be my dealer of I can pay them a dollar for every time they got me ice. If only you could go a day or even a few hours without having some ice. I got used to the fuzzy feeling in my brain, the delusions, and the shakiness of using the ice after the 3rd day as an addict. Sober thoughts were quickly diminished when you get your hands on your supply of ice for the day. It didn’t matter how you got them – stealing, lying or begging. Deep down inside me, I was hoping that someone still really cares, and they will help me find a way to get out of this addiction. 2. Addiction is an opportunity destroyer. It has no respect for anyone and doesn’t discriminate. No one is immune to addiction. It goes beyond the affected person use of drugs. The stigma of addiction holds one back from getting the help they need, and it disconnects them from their selves, friends, spirituality and life. 3. After completing the assignment, I became more sympathetic towards drug addicts because a lot of them go through...
